This course delivers important, reliable, accurate and relevant content on LEED intents and ... HOW TO satisfy LEED credit requirements. Contractors and Subcontractors will want to provide their team members with access to this course immediately prior to beginning work on a LEED Registered project.

The quiz questions correspond to the stated "Basic" learning level. However, the course content is broad enough to serve not only as a 'primer' for first time members of a LEED project team, but also as a 'refresher' for more experienced Contractors and Subcontractors.

Excellent detailed breakdown of the construction credits. Well thought out and presented. Very good audio and visual guides. The tips and tricks are especially handy as is seeing the actual credit forms filled out. Strongly recommended viewing for anyone responsible for documentation on a LEED project.

I highly recommend this presentation to contractors starting their first LEED project. It presents a great overview of the essentials. Heather does a great job of explaining the content in a well-organized, clear, and concise manner. A short summary at the end of each section is a great way to tune in to the salient details.

Of the three links listed as resources for stormwater management, I was unable to access the third link to the North Carolina DOT, but most states have their own SWPPP BMP’s.

For the exam have the LEED Checklist handy. The exam references only the alpha-numeric designation of the prerequisite and credit, and not the full name of the credit. GBCI faithfully provides the full extension in all of their LEED AP exams.

When LEED 2009 was introduced, the technical term LEED “Template” for the online form to be filled out was changed to “Form”. This has taken a long time for the old timers to adjust to, so don’t be thrown by the interchangeable use of those two terms.

I found this course, very interesting. The instructor (Ms. Heather DeGrella) was incredible. She was very direct and neat. Although, even the information was plentiful and has many peculiar data; I felt that Ms. DeGrella became sufficiently simple in her comments. I think this course was widely comprehending for anyone.
